I. Call to Order

A. A quorum being present, President Reed called the Senate to order

at 1:30 in the Student Council Chamber.

Present: President Jim Reed; Vice President Carmela Arnoldt; Senators

Renee Barstack, Larry Bohlender, Jim Daugherty, Paul DePippo, Gay

Garesche, Patricia

Hofer, Robert Hubbard, Phil Moloso, Jack Rose, Kirt Shineman, Bill

Stewart; and Councilor-at-large Linda Smith.

Absent: David Rafaelle, and Jeanne Saint-Amour.

II. Old Business

A. Reconsideration of the committee slate. Shineman moved to

rescind the approval of the committee slate. (Smith Seconded) Shineman

explained that Garesché removed her name from the "ballot", and

therefore contravened the intention for the faculty to decide the

slate. DePippo commented that it was not an election and that the

process misled the faculty. Hofer indicated that she might have voted

for Garesché given the opportunity, however, it also seemed possible

that Reed misled the faculty about the Senate's prerogatives. Garesché

indicated that there was no opportunity on the ballot to explain that

she had been the only member of the NCA Fiscal Resources Subcommittee

that had ever served on the Budget Development Committee (BDEC) and that

she thought it would be useful if she could sit on both committees again

this year. If she had left her name on the ballot and then provided the

Senate with this rationale, the vote results of faculty who did not have

this information would have made Garesché's request a moot point.

Motion to rescind: PASSED. Yeas: Arnoldt, Hofer, Smith, Stewart,

Hubbard, Shineman, Bohlender, Barstack, Rose, Daugherty. Nays:

Garesché, Moloso, DePippo.

Hubbard indicated that this was all beginning to look like an

attempt to embarrass a fellow faculty member. He said that given that

faculty are to have six seats on the BDEC, that rather than having

another faculty member besides Reed cross over from the Instructional

Subcommittee of the BDEC to be the sixth faculty person on BDEC, that he

moved that Garesché be appointed the sixth person. (Second Shineman)

Bohlender indicated that this process is managing to make the Senate

look bad, as if it could look worse than it already did. Moloso asked

if there were other names that needed to be corrected on the slate that

would be presented and if the Senate would be voting on the whole

slate. It was determined that it was the whole slate that had been

rescinded. Corrections were made to the slate. A request was made to

amend the motion to name the faculty to be on the BDEC. Amendment

accepted. Motion to read: names of faculty to sit on the BDEC (besides

the two chairs) Reed, Milliner, Garesché and Haas. PASSED. Yeas:

Garesché, Moloso, Hofer, DePippo, Hubbard, Barstack, Rose. Nays:

Arnoldt, Smith, Stewart, Shineman, Daugherty, Bohlender.

Resolved to address the process of creating slates at the next

Senate meeting.

III. Adjourned 2:00.

Respectfully submitted,

Gay Garesché
